After I became an immortal in Uchimaki, I went from being a loser to becoming a group favorite.

Tang Ling remembered what Jun Yiyi said before.

"I heard that this Black King of Hell seems to be the first batch of demons in the three realms, coming down from the upper realm." She said, "As a demon, he is not afraid of the sun, right?"

However, when I saw Yan Liang's performance on the ship before, he was really afraid of the sun and stayed in the cabin all day long.

"I just heard that I was indeed a demon before." Song Nan said, "But later I didn't know how to turn into a soul again and became a ghost cultivator. And since I joined, in addition to some management rights given by the upper world to look after the spirit stone mines, Besides, the Black King of Hell has been doing something without anyone’s command.”

"What's going on?" Tang Ling asked curiously.

"Suppress the demonic spirits and prevent the ghost cultivators in Fengdu from becoming demons due to their obsession." Song Nan said, "Some people say that this is their atonement for the harm caused by their own demonic transformations. After getting along with them over the years, I feel that there is something wrong with it. There’s something else hidden.”

"Actually, it would be fine if we just guard the ghost cultivators in Fengdu mining spiritual stones. After all, most of their activities are in the Fengdu continent where the days are short and the nights are long or there is no daylight." Song Nan said, "But suppressing demons and guarding the suppressed demons in Fengdu To prevent the soul from turning into a demon, it has to come into contact with the outside world, such as Nangong Ling's soul turning into a demon and escaping."

"So the Black King of Hell sent Senior Brother?" Tang Ling said.

"That's right." Song Nan nodded, "But I have indeed known about Nangong Ling's affairs for a long time and made plans."

"And the process for me to join the Black Hell King was also very difficult." Song Nan said, "Needless to say there were other processes such as competitions and selections, but the last one, and the most difficult one to join the monks, is that I need to take the soul blood to swear an oath. : Never betray and obey unconditionally.”

"Actually, there are many organizations in the Three Realms that have such regulations. But the problem is that although the Black Hell King organization somehow negotiated with the upper world and gained the right to be free from any restrictions, the upper world has never changed the status of the Black Hell King. It has been made public in the Three Realms, but the world knows very little about Black Yama. In other words, Black Yama is just an organization, a mysterious and inexplicable organization that people don't even know why they exist."

Song Nan said, "In such an organization, unless there are really desperate monks who can't have enough food and clothing, they may join based on survival needs. But if the monks really get to this point, they won't be able to pass the competition alone." . Furthermore, there are monks who are being hunted and in urgent need of protection. Black Hell King must conduct a thorough background investigation when selecting them. The monks who are being hunted often do not become the target of their choice. Even if they become, they will take soul blood. If you make a small vow, it will be difficult to keep it.”

Take the soul blood and swear an oath.

Those who break the oath will suffer a bloody collapse, their souls will be scattered, and they will never be reincarnated.

Tang Ling's heart tightened, "Senior brother, you..."

Song Nan looked at Tang Ling and found that her face was full of worry. He smiled at her reassuringly, "How can senior brother be so stupid?"

His purpose of joining the Black Hell King before was to prevent the escape of the Nangong family spirits that would happen in his previous life, in order to prevent the subsequent deaths of the people of Zhenchao Pass and Qing Deng, and to try to find out the mastermind behind all this.

Although it seems that now, except for Qing Deng, who knows where he is now, all other goals have been achieved.

But he wasn't sure it would go well before joining.

Therefore, swearing an oath with soul blood just for a possibility is really not worth it.

"At that time, I promised them a benefit that would not be rejected. They thought about it for a few days and agreed." Song Nan said.

"What's the benefit?"

"Help them solve the problem of being afraid of sunlight." Song Nan said, "And the solution lies in the whirlpool of the Dragon Sea."

He had a vague impression that the sealed ancient ruins here would cause a whirlpool due to the loosening of the seals.

The magic circle in this whirlpool has not been broken through for many years, but no one knows that on the Fengdu continent, dozens of miles away from the whirlpool, under a spiritual stone mine, a tunnel has appeared due to the mining of spiritual stones. crack.

This crack is the culprit that caused the seal to loosen.

But because the whirlpool was too noisy, no one noticed the crack.

The only one who noticed was the Black King of Hell who was responsible for guarding the mining of Fengdu Lingshi Mine. The inexplicable crack that appeared for some reason is also protected by a magic circle, but it is much weaker than the whirlpool.

The strength of the Black King of Hell is undeniable among the monks in the human world, and it is no problem to break through a relatively weak formation.

The King of Hell who entered inside found a number of heavenly materials and earthly treasures that had grown in ancient times, and found herbs there that could help them overcome the interference of sunlight. However, the quantity was really limited. After taking them out and studying them, they could only let the internal Taken by some key members.

But as long as it is there, it is enough.

Many years later, after the vortex was closed and the cracks disappeared, the Black King of Hell, who was suddenly able to see the light again, was discovered. After some investigation, he learned from the workers who were mining the spirit stone mines that were prohibited from revealing the information. .

As for whether Black Hell King punished those workers, Song Nan didn't know.

The only thing he knew was that he needed to go to the whirlpool one step earlier than the Black King of Hell and take out the herbs in order to fulfill the promise he made when he joined.

Therefore, after the incident at Zhenchao Pass came to an end, he had already used his time to find the crack. With Song Nan's thousand years of experience in studying formations in his previous life, it took him a few days to break open it.

In fact, Song Nan also had selfish motives.

Obtaining herbal medicine is one aspect, and the temptation to obtain more natural and earthly treasures is even greater.

However, he knew in his heart that "the beauty of the world lies in its dangerous distances", and if he wanted to obtain better natural and earthly treasures, he would definitely go through some risks.

So after collecting the herbs, he carefully explored part of the place. After finding some things, he was about to leave, but suddenly he discovered the shining golden scales.

The scales are floating in the air far away from the crack. When you fly closer, it seems that you can touch them with your hand.

Song Nan did not rush forward, but carefully spread his consciousness around the seemingly empty scales and used his spiritual power to explore.

Sure enough, I found that there was a formation here, protecting the scales.

He spent an unknown amount of time and effort to break through the formation, and when he was going to get the scales, he suddenly heard a sound.

It's a human voice.

There were noisy sounds, as if they were moving through the busy streets.

How come there are so many people here?
When this idea came to his mind, his hand had already touched the scales, and at this moment, a layer of translucent blue light waves suddenly surrounded the scales. The light waves gathered quickly, and powerful streams of water rushed from all directions. Come rushing.

It's a water-type formation within a formation!

Song Nan felt bad and immediately took action to resist.

The blue light waves shrank smaller and smaller, and the water pressure that filled him was about to squeeze his entire body. Song Nan's hand holding the scales already had blood stains. He could feel that there were countless cracks in his body, and in the end The strange thing was that the formation was sucking his spiritual power without anyone noticing.

If he continues like this, without the spiritual power to cast spells, he is afraid that he will be squeezed into pulp by the formation, or even destroyed.

At this moment, the blood-stained scales in his hand suddenly erupted with a burst of extremely scorching golden light, and then, as if alive, he rushed out of the formation with Song Nan.

But it also caused Song Nan to rush straight towards the exit of the vortex without control.
